His new duo acoustic album is great!

Yup, love it! Listened 3-4 times yesterday and started my day with it today.

Thinking about seeing dude.  Why is renting out arenas like Rosemont Horizon but only using half?

Because he's spent a ton of money on a stage show that is designed for an arena and looks and sounds fantastic in an arena but he can't sell out an arena outside of Nashville. Plus the economics must work for the band, promoters, venues to do it this way. Rosemont is happy to have someone in there selling beer, etc.

I kinda love it. It makes the big place feel roomy. The new arena in Austin is designed for this. The upper-decks can be blocked by these large screens that come down from the ceiling making the place look and feel smaller than it is. He's played there a few times now in that configuration. It's awesome. The place is designed to handle so many people that the smaller crowd just makes everything smoother and easier. Makes for a great fan experience.

Lots of acts do this.
I recall seeing The Black Crowes do this twice; at Hampton and the Patriot Center, back in the 90s.

He did 2 nights in our arena and it was pretty full both nights. But good tix were like $50 day of vs. $90 face.I was surprised they did 2 nights in such a big venue
